For almost all of human history, no mother raised a baby alone. Grandmothers, aunties, neighbors and other mothers all pitched in, and cultures around the world built rest and care into the postpartum season. Somewhere along the way, the village became optional, and then it disappeared from view. The need for it never went away.

 

In this episode, Dr. Lindsey covers where the village went, what isolation costs mothers in pregnancy and postpartum, and four practical ways to rebuild your village on purpose, starting this week.

 

In this episode:

  • Why humans were built to raise babies with many hands

  • Postpartum traditions from around the world that protected new mothers

  • How isolation affects a mother's stress, sleep, healing and mood

  • How to map your village and make specific asks before you need them

  • How chiropractors and gym owners can cultivate the village where they work

You're doing all the "right" things: the workouts, the supplements, the birth prep. So why do you feel wired at night, drained all day, and one spilled cup away from tears? In this episode, Dr. Lindsey breaks down the difference between your load (everything being asked of you) and your capacity (what your body and nervous system can actually hold right now). You'll learn why pregnancy and postpartum change your capacity week to week, how to tell adaptive stress from overreach, and a simple three-question check-in you can do every Sunday using the BIRTHFIT 7 Pillars. Small adjustments, made consistently, help you build forward instead of burning out. Your body isn't failing you. It's telling you the truth about your capacity.

In this episode:

  • Why flexibility alone gets you into a position but won't get you out of it with control

  • The nervous system's role in range of motion, and why some ranges never feel "earned" no matter how much you stretch

  • Why fear-based caution — keeping everyone in a tiny, restricted range — doesn't protect capability, it just delays building it

  • A simple three-step process for actually earning range: find your edge, train at it, progress it slowly

  • Why pregnancy and postpartum are seasons to keep building this, not seasons to pause it

BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 272: The Core Conversation Nobody is Having BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 272: The Core Conversation Nobody is Having Wed, 03 Jun 2026 16:00:00 +0000 In this BIRTHFIT Certification Masterclass, Dr. Lindsey Mathews Cantu, DC, strength coach, and semi-retired doula, dives deep into the foundations of core and pelvic floor health through the lens of the BIRTHFIT Core System.

Learn why the core is much more than a group of muscles—it is a dynamic pressure management system that relies on proper breathing, nervous system regulation, movement, and overall health. Lindsey breaks down common misconceptions surrounding core training, including the popular "suck your belly button in" cue, and explains how chronic inflammation, gut health, nutrition, and circadian rhythm can directly impact core function and recovery.

In this masterclass, you'll discover:
• The BIRTHFIT Core System framework
• Why breathing is the foundation of all core work
• Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) principles from the Prague School of Rehabilitation
• The connection between the nervous system, core function, and pelvic floor health
• How developmental movement patterns influence lifelong movement quality
• The role of circadian rhythm in maternal health and labor
• Practical diaphragmatic breathing techniques

The session concludes with a live consultation on SI joint dysfunction, exercise recommendations, and audience Q&A, including discussion around rib flare and core rehabilitation.

BIRTHFIT Episode 265: Alysa Seeland, Fond Bone Broth BIRTHFIT Episode 265: Alysa Seeland, Fond Bone Broth Thu, 19 Mar 2026 23:00:00 +0000 In this episode of the BIRTHFIT Podcast, Lindsey sits down with Alyssa Seeland, founder and CEO of Fond Bone Broth, to explore the intersection of motherhood, nourishment, and entrepreneurship. Alyssa shares the story behind her six natural births and how her personal experiences with pregnancy, healing, and ancestral nutrition ultimately led to the creation of her bone broth company. From delivering babies in a Texas birth center and at home, to navigating the demands of pregnancy while building a national food brand, Alyssa offers a powerful perspective on trusting the body, building resilience, and choosing a path that often runs counter to modern culture.

The conversation also dives into Alyssa's entrepreneurial journey—how a small farmers market product grew into a nationally distributed regenerative bone broth brand, now found on shelves across the country. Along the way, she opens up about the challenges she faced, including regulatory battles, legal disputes with major food companies, and a devastating warehouse fire during her sixth pregnancy. Through it all, Alyssa shares the lessons she's learned about nourishment, movement, chiropractic care, and the importance of surrounding yourself with a supportive community during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

This episode is a reminder that whether you're building a family, building a business, or both—strength often comes from the most unexpected seasons. 

In This Episode We Cover:

- Alyssa's journey through six natural births and how each experience shaped her perspective on motherhood

- Finding supportive birth environments and making countercultural choices in childbirth - The role of nutrition, movement, and chiropractic care during pregnancy and postpartum

- How ancestral foods—especially bone broth—support healing and recovery

- The origin story of Fond Bone Broth and its growth from farmers markets to national retailers

- Navigating legal challenges, regulatory hurdles, and a warehouse fire during pregnancy - The importance of community, resilience, and trusting your instincts as a mother and entrepreneur

BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 261: A Christian Healing Approach with Brigid Tibaldi BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 261: A Christian Healing Approach with Brigid Tibaldi Tue, 17 Feb 2026 16:00:00 +0000 In this episode, we welcome Brigid Tebaldi — a board-certified Health Coach and mentor who helps women uncover the original story their nervous system learned… and rebuild the foundation so their bodies no longer have to protect them at the cost of peace. Brigid's work lives at the intersection of physiology, identity, and faith. She supports women who feel stuck in chronic stress, fatigue, emotional reactivity, and lingering physical symptoms that never seem to resolve.

Through her signature program, Restored by Grace, Brigid guides women to trace present-day patterns back to their roots — often shaped by birth experiences, early responsibility, or long seasons of overwhelm — and gently rewire the body toward safety and stability. Her approach blends nervous system regulation, integrative health principles, and a Christian understanding of the human person, creating space for real healing without force, pressure, or hustle. Brigid is a wife, a mother of five, and a homesteader in Pennsylvania. When she's not working with clients, you'll find her outside with her kids, reading about conspiracy theories, cooking and baking, and listening to as many podcasts as she can. 

✨ You'll also hear about Brigid's own podcast, The Discerning Mother Podcast, where she continues conversations around nervous system health, motherhood, and faith-centered healing. Learn more about Brigid and her work:

BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 258: Exercise Snacks BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 258: Exercise Snacks Tue, 27 Jan 2026 16:00:00 +0000 A big question that keeps coming up in our community is how to get training in when you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and the idea of a 45-60 minute workout feels like a fantasy from your pre-baby life. Here's the good news: research shows you don't need hours at the gym to rebuild your strength and energy—"exercise snacks" are short bouts of physical activity lasting just 30 seconds to 5 minutes that can improve muscle strength by up to 31%, increase endurance, reduce stress, boost mood, and enhance cardiovascular health and brain activity. From breathing snacks to core connection work to walking snacks to strength training snacks these mini-workouts fit into the chaos of motherhood and work around baby's schedule, not against it. Start ridiculously small, piggyback on existing habits, use baby as your workout buddy, embrace the mess, and remember your why—you're evolving into the new, better, more optimal version of yourself AND modeling healthy habits for your little ones.

BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 257: What Happens When Hospitals Choose Mothers Over Money BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 257: What Happens When Hospitals Choose Mothers Over Money Tue, 20 Jan 2026 16:00:00 +0000 Rochester General Hospital in New York just proved what we've known all along: when you remove financial incentives for C-sections, shift to midwife-led care, and give women TIME to labor, outcomes transform—their C-section rate for low-risk, first-time mothers dropped from 40% to 25% between 2019 and 2024, one of the steepest declines reported nationally. They stopped paying physicians more for surgery, trained staff in non-surgical support techniques, allowed evidence-based labor timelines instead of declaring "failure to progress" prematurely, and educated patients on normal labor—proving that when the system aligns with physiology instead of profit, the female body does what it was designed to do. But here's what we need to say out loud: 25% is still higher than it should be, and the missing piece is supporting women from conception forward with the BIRTHFIT 7 Pillars—sun, sleep, strength, nourishment, mindset, community, and spirit—so they show up to labor with regulated nervous systems, unshakable confidence, and bodies primed for physiologic birth. Rochester General didn't change overnight; it took leadership from physicians, midwives, and administrators who said "we can do better," and your community needs that same leadership—not from a hospital or policy change, but from YOU. This is validation for everything the mother-led birth movement has been saying for decades: when leadership aligns with what the female body needs, the system can change—now imagine what happens when every pregnant woman in your community has access to a BIRTHFIT-trained coach or practitioner.

BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 256: First Trimester Miscarriage Facts and Options BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 256: First Trimester Miscarriage Facts and Options Tue, 13 Jan 2026 22:16:00 +0000 In this episode, we open a conversation that too often stays in the shadows: first-trimester miscarriage. With nearly 1 in 5 recognized pregnancies ending in early loss, this is not a rare experience — it's a common, deeply human one. And yet, most women are left navigating it without clear data, real options, or compassionate context.

We walk through what the research actually says about miscarriage risk across the first trimester, including how it changes week-by-week and how maternal age plays a role. We also explore what's truly behind most early losses — primarily random chromosomal changes — and why this matters for letting go of blame, shame, and self-doubt.

A major myth gets dismantled in this episode: exercise does not cause miscarriage. We dive into the latest evidence showing that light-to-moderate movement — and even brief bouts of higher-intensity training — are safe for healthy pregnancies and can actually support metabolic, hormonal, and nervous system health in early pregnancy.

For anyone currently experiencing a miscarriage or who has walked through one before, this episode also outlines the full range of options — from expectant management to medical support to alternative healing modalities — while honoring the emotional and spiritual dimensions of loss that so often go unspoken.

Ultimately, this is an episode about truth, choice, and compassion. About bringing together data, nervous-system awareness, and lived experience. And about reminding every woman:
You didn't cause this. You're not broken. And you don't have to walk it alone.

BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 255: Birth as Sacred Work BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 255: Birth as Sacred Work Tue, 06 Jan 2026 16:00:00 +0000 In this episode, I tackle the claim that the Bible says birth is supposed to be painful by examining Genesis 3:16 and the original Hebrew word itstsavon, which means "toil" or "labor"—the same word used for Adam's work in the field, not excruciating agony. God's design of the female body—from circadian rhythms optimizing melatonin and oxytocin to endorphins, relaxin, and a baby's adaptable skull—shows us that birth was created to be intense labor supported by brilliant, God-given systems. Understanding itstsavon as "labor" rather than "pain" changes everything: birth is hard work, but women are designed for hard work, and the intensity you'll experience isn't punishment—it's purpose. You were created for this, equipped with strength, hormones, instinct, and the promise of transformative joy. Birth is not a curse—it's powerful, purposeful, God-designed labor, and you are fearfully and wonderfully made for it. If this episode resonated with you, leave us a review on iTunes or Spotify.

BIRTHFIT Podcast 254 with Nikki Adams Herrera, BIRTHFIT Coach and Founder of BabeFit SoCal BIRTHFIT Podcast 254 with Nikki Adams Herrera, BIRTHFIT Coach and Founder of BabeFit SoCal Wed, 10 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 In this week's BIRTHFIT Podcast conversation, Lindsey sat down with Nikki Adams — a longtime BIRTHFIT Coach (since 2017), gym owner, doula, Lululemon ambassador, and devoted mom — to talk about her journey, her work, and the heart behind everything she does.  Nikki is one of those rare people who radiates both fire and gentleness. She's built a space in her community where women feel seen, supported, and strengthened — not just physically, but emotionally and relationally, too. Early mornings, bustling mom-friendly classes, and intentionally curated programs are her rhythm, but what truly defines her work is the way she weaves connection and healing into every corner of her gym. She shared how she found BIRTHFIT years ago — during a season when she felt an inner pull to better understand pregnancy, coaching, and the deeper layers of women's wellness. After discovering the BIRTHFIT podcast, she reached out to Lindsey, eventually attending the 2017 Coach Seminar despite financial hurdles. She describes that weekend as "life-changing," not simply because of the information taught, but because of the energy in the room — forward-thinking women, shared purpose, community, and a sense of coming home to a calling. From that seminar, she brought back tools she still uses today — especially the breath technique, which immediately transformed the way she coached her pregnant and postpartum clients. Throughout the conversation, Nikki spoke openly about the realities of running a people-centered business: • early mornings for working moms • dedicated BIRTHFIT programs with childcare • investing in systems like PushPress • navigating cancellations, boundaries, pricing, and sustainability • balancing her own growth with the needs of her community What grounds her through all of it is her purpose: to serve, to create connection, and to empower women with strength and confidence during some of the most transformative seasons of their lives. Her encouragement to new coaches and leaders was simple but powerful: Follow your heart. Stay aligned with your values. And trust that you are meant to do work that moves you.

BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 236: Diane Lee, Physiotherapist BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 236: Diane Lee, Physiotherapist Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:46:00 +0000 Diane Lee is a physiotherapist in Canada. She specializes in manual therapy focusing on prenatal and postpartum women. Lindsey discovered some of her research contributions when she was looking for research on Diastasis Recti Abdominis (DRA). Diane has studied DRA extensively. She has determined that IRD (Inter Recti Distance) does not matter when assessing DRA. Diane states that depth tells the story of functionality.

If you're at all interested in DRA (and prolapse), this episode is a must listen! 

A bit on Diane…She graduated with distinction from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor degree in the Science of Rehabilitation in 1976. She has been a member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association since 1976 and a fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Therapy since 1981 (FCAMT). She completed  certification in Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) in 2001, Yoga teacher training in 2012, pelvic floor certification in 2013 and was recognized by the Canadian Physiotherapy Association as a clinical specialist in Woman's Health in 2016. She is well published (books, chapters and journal articles) and the innovator of two pelvic support belts for which she holds the patent; The Com-Pressor and the Baby Belly Pelvic Support (www.babybellypelvicsupport.com). Diane owns, directs and is a practicing physiotherapist at Diane Lee & Associates (http://www.dianeleephysio.com). She has continued to maintain an on-going clinical practice for over 40 years and while she follows the research evidence closely, she draws from this deep clinical experience for her teaching and lecturing in the clinic, in Canada and internationally.

Betsey is an is an American water polo goalkeeper, who won a Gold medal with the United States Women's National Water polo team at the 2012 Olympics in London.
